Fermi'S Paradox      
                          
                                          
 On  Earth (The  Planet Where  I Live)  A 
 Lot  Of Us Have Antennas  On  Our Houses 
 Or   Balconies,  We   Have  Built  Large 
 Antennas For Larger  Bandwith,  We  Have 
      Build Specialized Antennaes For     
    Specific Wavelengths (And Sent Them   
 Into  Orbit), We'Ve  Built Large As Fuck 
              Antenna Arrays              
 We'Ve Virtually  Built An Antenna With A 
         Dish As Large As Earth.          
                                          
 We'Ve Learned About Our Position In  The 
     Solar System, Our Solar Systems      
 Placement   In  The  Galaxy,   And   Our 
 Galaxys Placement  In The Local Cluster, 
 And  Our Local  Clusters  Place In The 
          Grand Scheme Of Things          
                                          
 And  We'Re  Moving  Around  The  Sun  At 
 Velocity And The Suns Moving  Around The 
 Center  Of The  Galaxy  At Velocity  And 
 The Galaxy  Is  Moving Toward  Andromeda 
   And We'Re Both Moving Anticlockwise    
 Around The  Galaxy. And We As  A Species 
 Have Learned To Take All That In Account 
                                          
 And Despite  All This, Despite  All  Our 
    (Cliche) Beaming Of Fucking Stellar   
 Radio Programmes  Out In  Fucking  Space 
 At The Speed  Of  Light  (Light  Is  Our 
 Medium! Goodspeed You, Black Emperor!),  
      Despite Ghosts Helping And The      
     Collective Consciousness Lowpass     
    Filtering, Despite Our Very Obvious   
 Beaming Of  All  Our  Secrets  In  Every 
          Direction Known To Us,          
                                          
 No        One      Has       Answered

             So Why Is That?              
                                          
 Most  Opponents To Intelligent  Life  In 
 The  Universe Say It'S Because  You Need 
 A Class  One-Or-The-Other Star  And  The 
 Planet  Needs  To  Be  At  A  See-And-So 
 Distance Away From The Star (Like  There 
           Has To Be A Planet!)           
                                          
 But  Really  Isn'T   That   Keeping  The 
      Definition Of Life Really Lax?      
                                          
 I Think Everyone Agrees That  We Have No 
 Idea What We'Re Doing  (And It  Probably 
                  Shows)

 This Year  And Try  To Snatch Some Beers
